Tottenham 1- 2 Newcastle: What Frank and Solanke said

Spurs boss Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's been better, of course. It hurts massively that we couldn't get the win today. I see a team running and fighting with everything they have. They give everything in a tricky and difficult situation.

"They make it difficult for us. We have a transition one way and then they go the other way, we defend bad and concede the second goal.

"We have players with injuries and a suspension and then another injury after 30 minutes 100% does not help. I have never complained, it is what I have available."

Spurs striker Dominic Solanke, speaking to TNT Sports: "Not great, we want to be winning games. We know it's not good enough from us. We're obviously frustrated and want to turn this form around.

"It's tough to put a finger on it. We're not doing the business at the moment, we've got a lot of players out injured.

"We're trying to get it right and turn it around as quickly as possible. We wanted to get the win but it didn't go our way.

"We don't want to be anywhere near the bottom of the table, but we know we can turn it around. It's a matter of when. We have a while until the next game now.

"We've got great players on the team. We need to be doing better and the next game will be another tough one. We've got time to get that right."
